The First Encounter
The first encounter with Saint Michael was on the bike trail behind the Church and the story goes like this; Labor Day weekend of 2013 the summer I finished the Book of Life project the seventh of the seven projects I started back in the fall of 2011. Early morning bike ride, I’m on top of the hill in the Clio Park, two people walked by from a distance and something felt odd that morning and something caught my attention it was a golden retriever dog. I mean a dog not a puppy and two people were walking him and they were very similar in appearance like twins holding hands about 6 foot 3 maybe 3 ½ with golden blonde hair probably about 50 maybe 52ish and very odd in appearance and what I mean by this is very good looking oddly good looking and they weren’t dressed for a walk. The man looked real familiar to me and I didn’t know where I had seen him before. So I jumped on my bike and paddles down the hill and just when I came around the corner behind the Church there they were I passed by startled the lady and looked down and that dog was a puppy and very familiar golden retriever puppy I just brushed it off and keep going until the next day when I walked in my office and seen my Saint Michael statue and looked close, WOW that’s the man in the park and it hit me right then the puppy looked like the one I lost in a freak accident last summer.
